Temperature dependence of Zr in rutile: empirical
Rutile is an important carrier of high field strength elements (HFSE; Zr, Nb, Mo, Sn, Sb, Hf, Ta, W). Its Zr content is buffered in systems with quartz and zircon as coexisting phases. The effects of temperature (T) and pressure (P) on the Zr content in rutile have been empirically calibrated in this study by analysing rutile–quartz–zircon …
